A visit to the zoo

[Tymoe]

I just visited the Zoo in Rheine, Germany. The first two pictures were taken with my old 135/2.8 Revuenon. The last one with the SEL1855. Hope you like them!

Love the 1st image, the eye is super sharp and the OOF is very soft and lovely, not to mention the Llama's eyes look very cute

What 135/2.8 Revuenon do you use?
This one: Revuenon 135/2.8
Or the "special": http://www.seniuc.com/IMG_4082.JPG

I really like your pictures and think of buying a manual 135mm lens. Any problems adapting this one on the NEX?

It's the first one.
The prize on ebay is unbeatable... but i have to admit that pictures taken with the revuenon look a bit blueish! (all photos shown here are edited with lightroom)

I have the Special on the way into my mailbox. I will test it as soon as possible ...
